Vietnam/Singapore - Day 5

Today, I woke up on my own again. Not because of a dream, knocking or a phone call, but because I opend the curtains slightly. I woke up at 6am Singapore time because the sun had already risen. Then, I went back to sleep and woke up again for good an hour later. After doing some packing, we went for breakfast. Along the way, we saw some tiny frogs (about 0.8cm long). They were hopping around outside the pond. Unfortunately, I saw one or two which got stepped on. The aftermath looked disgusting.

We checked out at 8+am Vietnam time. Our flight was MI630. It had the usual stop-over at Seam Reap, Cambodia, before taking us to Singapore. This time, I checked and double checked before leaving the plane at Seam Reap. A very painful lesson learnt and Day 1. But then again, what else have I got to lose? My homework is gone already...

I read The Kite Runner on the plane and managed to finish half the book within the 4+ hours. I think the book is rather interesting. It should be as it's rare that I do get hooked on to books, especially this genre. The English department made a good selection.

I did violin practice after unpacking. I nearly wanted to drop the violin on the floor (experiment with gravity) after playing a few scales. My fingers and arms felt odd. Looks like I'll need about 2 days to get back into shape. Stress. Exam is in a months' time. Music practical is also somewhere around there.

After that, I went online. Jean went off to do project work at her friend's house. Gah. Reminds me of mine. I haven't started on any yet. Life is hard. But, don't give up, even when things are looking hopless.

I will post pictures later, but I don't think I'll post any of me at the beach. Obscene. But I will remove the pictures after maybe a week or 2. Don't want the pictures to circulate around the net too much.
